Harmful foods that you should NEVER give to your dog are:
- Alcoholic Beverages, Apples, Apricots, Cherries, Peaches and Plums, Grapes and Raisins, Baking Powder and Baking Soda and Chocolate
More foods that you should not feed to your dog are:
- Coffee (grounds and beans) causes "caffeine" toxicity in dogs.
- Fatty Foods are dog favourites but can cause acute pancreatitis except miniature or toy poodles. Cocker spaniels and miniature schnauzers are particularly prone to pancreatitis.
- Dairy Products although not highly dangerous can cause pancreatitis due to their high fat content. They are poorly digested.
- Macadamia / Queensland / Australia nuts can be toxic. As few as six nuts cause severe toxic symptoms.
- Mouldy / Spoiled Food can cause medical problems. In addition to food poisoning, some pets can develop tremors related to the ingestion of certain moulds.
- Nutmeg in high levels can be toxic and even be fatal. Signs of toxicity include tremors, seizures, nervous system abnormalities and death.
- Onions or Garlic cannot be properly digested by dogs and cats as well. A dog or cat that eats onions may experience gas, vomiting, diarrhoea or severe gastrointestinal distress. All forms of onion and garlic are problematic, including raw, dehydrated, cooked or powder. If large amounts of onion or garlic are ingested, or if onions are a part of your dog's daily diet, the red blood cells may become fragile and break apart.
- Xylitol sweetener from sugar-alcohol in sugar-free human food like gum and candy.
- Yeast Dough will "rise" in your dog's stomach and ferments. Alcohol is produced which can cause "alcohol toxicity."
